I've seen more than a few jokes already, including a photoshopped Bad album cover that wasn't in the best of taste.

It's inevitible though. He was a celebrity, probably the biggest celebrity ever, and (driven to it or not) well on the crazy side.

People die every day. No-one cries if it's not a celebrity. It's as if the life of a celebrity is more important then everyone else's. The situation is false, it has to be said.

It is a sad day though. No-one who was a child of the 80's could pretend he didn't make some very good music.

Michael Jackson has died from a heart attack at the age of 50. It's the first time he's been f***** by anything older than 12.

Christ, Diana is going to be small beer when the nutjobs announce an enforced period of self-immolation from tomorrow.

What I want to know is who are these people that will rush out and buy Jackson albums now that he's a cadaver? Scratch that, I mean now that he's dead. He's been a cadaver for 20 years.

What possesses the plebs to play a dead man's tunes just because he's kicked the bucket? Utter morbidity.

Yes, but this is hardly your typical z-lister, it's Michael Jackson!!!!!

Poor Jarvis. A fatwa is on its way.

I kept meaning to buy his albums on CD (I have Bad on vinyl and Dangerous on cassette), but never had enough spare cash to do so. Only CD I have is King of Pop (UK edition).

Now you can do so without feeling like a paedophile.

Uri Gellar was on the news before the death was confirmed. He was surprisingly unprescient about Jackson's demise.

Not really. It's false if the celebrity thats died has had no impact on the life of the 'mourner'

Wacko touched the lives of many, especially growing up (no paedo joke intended) So a lot of people will feel a loss. It's those that Drico touched on that wind you up. Going into Tesco with a 'Bad' T-Shirt on and a basket full of cd's, yet they probably never heard one of his records.

Are they sure it's not Liz Taylor?

Hmmm, if it's true then that is terribly sad and shocking. I just can't help but wonder if it's all a fake though... I mean, not for publicity, but to avoid the concerts and the lawsuits coming up. I really wouldn't be surprised if he was found hiding in some French mansion in a year or two.

Yes, I am cynical, but no I'm not some maniacal conspiracy nut.

My thought's exactly. Stranger things have happened ...

When I was in Vegas in 2004, I saw him being pushed along the sidewalk in an oversized pushchair/ buggy with a net curtain over his head ... nothing would surprise me.

race baiting jackass AL sharpton is on TV reminiscing about warm memorys of michael jackson.

this little chicken Mcnugget included.... he remembers when james brown died and michael jackson apparently wanted AL to see if he could arrange to view james browns body in the middle of the night.

sheeeesh come on AL, some storys you might want to forget.

LOL maybe he is still black afterall and his appearance over the past 15 years or more, has been a disguise. The day has come for him to turn back to normal and run off into the sun.

I've always thought they faked Myra Hindleys death, just to release the fat cow but thats another topic. Stuff like that must happen.

Anyway, Mancherster United's Nani must be gutted. His body double for the Thriller remake, has gone for a burton.

I guess it is true. life was not good for him
